Abstract

A new method for diagnosing functional thin-film coatings applied by ion-plasma deposition using arc installations is presented. It is shown that the methods of friction tests, although they provide quite comprehensive information about the functional properties of coatings, nevertheless, have a serious drawback associated with the duration of the testing process. Considering wide technological possibilities of methods of vacuum sputtering of coatings in terms of varying technological modes of their deposition and, accordingly, a significant number of options for properties and characteristics of samples, it seems relevant to have such methods for assessing the quality of the coating in the arsenal of a technologist that would be distinguished by efficiency, but at the same time, high reliability of the results. A method for ultrajet diagnostics of functional coatings is proposed, and the effectiveness of the results of its use is evaluated in accordance with the informative data of the “classical” friction test method (friction tests). This paper concludes that the proposed method is effective and has a wide potential for implementation in enterprises engaged in the production of instrumentation products, precision technological equipment, and machine tools.
